Are you looking for an evening and weekend job and want to make a difference? We are looking for individuals to work one to one with an older person in the local community. As a Care Assistant & Companion your job would be helping them to stay independent in their own home as well continuing to do all the activities they love. We have part-time jobs available in Stockport and Tameside areas

They have won multiple awards over the years and have built an excellent reputation within communities across the UK. This exceptional service is different to any other care organisation in the area, providing a minimum of 1-hour home visits to a purely private client base, but the focus being on companionship. However, due to the nature of this job there may also be an element of personal care involved.

Imagine having dementia but still being able to go to your dancing class on a Saturday, still being able to go to the theatre, or even still being able to go to the bingo on a Sunday afternoon.

You would be helping make these things happen every day!
